I love the Albatross bars. I keep coming back to them on my bikes... They really are just right for a lot of riding.
I also REALLY like the Tosco bars (tried Boscos, didn't like 'em) for touring and offroading. I have some of the 600mm wide ones, which are just right IMO (and still have a 25.4 clamp area). But I'm with some of the other guys about being pre-stoked on the new Riv offering. Can't wait to see what it'll be - but something in between the wavie and the billie sounds excellent. john On Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 2:44:43 AM UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > Andy, I have ridden with an Albatross (upright and flipped), a VO Granola > and a Billie.
